Observance

Years flying by like the days of the week 
A blurring bullet train

Moments memories hardly time to cement
A record to fully retain

I understand that being mindful of
The nuance and play of the light

The aroma and sound of each unique event
Will serve to set this aright

In a car crash once I saw time slow down
to a  frozen molasses crawl

I know it's schedule is flexible
this thought I share with you all

Languish at a cup of tea
Loiter at what brings delight

Ask what does this moment afford me
 cool pink morning  star lit sultry night

The laughter of children anyone's
Not constricted to those you begot

Let their merry hearts once again carry you
to places you thought you forgot

Take it in take it all in
Luxuriate in this your life

A caution don't give in to shutting down
Should you be encountering strife

When you in offense shut out the bad
You shut out the good you know

See it acknowledge it let it go
looking  for  good to sow

Your head will rest light on the pillow
that is not stuffed with regret

Rest deeply knowing tomorrow
Will bring wonders you haven't seen yet
